Ho shit
That was a wonderful exhibition of swing bowling from Stokes. Some unplayable deliveries. Good to see Cook getting his mojo back in the slips.
Stoneman gone for one. A decent delivery but absolutely no use of the feet, just wafted at it. Somehow i don’t think Stoneman is the answer to our opening problem, back to the drawing board.

Looks like it’s not just Stokes that can move the ball on a whim
119-6 repair work by out of sorts Bairstow to hang in there before falling LBW.
Stokes looking on a different level
nything around 150 and get WIndies back in today would be good with better forecast to morrow
Stokes bowled - reviewed - No Ball.
2 Balls later - Bowled - Gabriel shocks the world by NOT bowling a no ball…
150 looking a tough ask tbh
Only 16 runs short but, you’re right, it’ll be a tough ask.
